“He couldn't have been better. Answered all questions and made sure I didn't have any others. He was great!”
Andrew Z.September 23, 2019
“
Dr. Tweedt was very professional and reassuring. This was my first visit and I felt very comfortable with his expertise and explaining his opinion. He ordered a biopsy to be done by a radiologist which is less invasive. I appreciated his concern for the least invasive procedure. When the results come back, I will follow up with him for the next visit/step.”

He was very kind and patient. No question of mine was too small. Surgery set up before I left- the scheduler contacted my cardiologist to see me right then to save me a trip. Every staff member was pleasant and cared. Dr. Tweedt was sweet. I know I am
with a doctor who cares.

He did a simple biopsy in the office which was great because it saved a great deal of time and resources. Thank you, Dr. Tweedt, for keeping the process from dragging on.

I had follow-up questions, called, and was put on infinite hold. I had to resort to using his email, which I know he only gave me for one early, specific reason.
